About Developer · **Released**: 06-16-2005

This is a port of Logican's Realtime Template Compressor hack from vBulletin 2.2.x to vBulletin 3.5.0 Beta 1. I wrote this by rewriting a version of the original hack, that I wrote for my forums when they ran 3.0.x, so that it would function as a plugin for 3.5.0.

I had originally sent this to Logican for him to release it but he replied granting me permission to release it; hence why I'm releasing this.

Installation is very simple. Just import the plugin via vBulletin's "Download / Upload Plugins" page in the Plugin System in the Admin Control Panel and you're done.

I'll try to correct any bugs that you might find. Let me know if you like this plugin and don't forget to click the install link if you install this.

Update History

Version 1.1.0: The expression was replaced with a more efficient one that increases the compression level from approximately 1-2% to approximately 4-8%.
Version 1.0.0: Initial Release

it will increase the load a little, nothing major that I've seen

this hack is good, but causes alot of server load when the forum is busy. i had to remove it because of that.

Because it takes time and processing power to compress a template.
The pages are smaller in code, which means less for the surfer to download which means it appears quicker to them.

The only real benefit to this hack is saved bandwidth because I doubt the time saved in a smaller page download outweighs the time it takes to make it smaller.

I'd like to see this mod rebuilt for 3.6 but instead of it compressing the template each time it loads how about this mod creates a duplicate of your style that is fully compressed, then you just use that style. if you have to change templates use your old style then recompress. Is this possible? and for 3.6.1 plz!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
